INGREDIENTS
- 2 large onions
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 cup yellow split peas
- 5 cups water
- 8 ounces ground lamb
- 1 pound fresh spinach ; chopped
- 1/2 cup rice flour or cornstarch
- juice of two lemons
- 2 garlic cloves ; finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 4 eggs ; beaten
- salt and pepper ; to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Chop one of the onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion until golden. Add the turmeric, split peas, and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Grate the other onion. Put it into a bowl, add the ground lamb and mix well. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls about the size of walnuts. Carefully add to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes, then add the chopped spinach, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Mix the rice flour with about 1 cup cold water to make a smooth paste. Then slowly add to the pan, stirring all the time to prevent lumps. Stir in the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and cook over a gentle heat 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small pan and fry the garlic briefly until golden. Stir in the mint and remove the pan from the heat.
Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the beaten eggs. Sprinkle the garlic and mint garnish over the soup and serve.
